I was laughing so hard. It made me feel like it was a real thing happening. Those three actors worked really well with each other. If i could go to another show like that or even the same one again I totally would. It was worth the 20+ hour drive to Cali to watch three great actors light up the stage....

He obviously based his play around a setting that he was familiar with, and writes about his own experiences. The play was a social comment on the life of the main character. All the jokes and puns cracked in it made the whole play more enjoyable to watch. The play was very appealing to the audience since it not only made the play seem more relevant, but it made them feel special since it seemed like it had been engineered specifically for them to put themselves in that situation. ...

Brilliantly written and performed. Laugh out loud funny at times; sad and shocking at others; Ghost Town is a balanced and vivid portrayal of the little talked about Anglocrisis in Cameroon. ...

Funny, delightful, and engaging. There's nothing wrong with being unabashedly positive and having a truly happy ending. I was genuinely surprised when it ended, because I thought it had only been 60 minutes rather than 90....

TATTER CAPES had a cinematic vibe while employing tried-and-true theatrical conventions, adding up to a unique yet comfortably familiar experience - cast (especially Dixon, Mercedes, and ...

Contrary to all sorts of "common sense" you can quite practically put all sorts of spectacle onto the live stage. Sea battles, exorcisms, poisonings, gunshots, sword fights, etc. If you have the budget, dragons and falling chandeliers are not out of the question.
But who cares without the human connection, the power of the human soul coming to terms with itself via contact with another human soul? Movies and video games cannot help but eclipse live theatre for spectacle. It can almost neve...

"Tattered Capes" is one of my favorite shows from this year's Fringe! So glad I got to see one of the encore performances. An original smart, fun, and surprisingly moving take on the superhero genre....

In the context of an all too familiar classroom gun hostage scenario, we are thrust into a jarring reality check of what it's like being a teen in urban America. Though you may initially root for the obvious protagonist(s), the deeper reflection is do you demonize or humanize the "apparent antagonist"? ...

Tattered Capes is an epic story trapped in a 80 minute show. What could have easily been a more extensive TV series is here squeezed all its juice into one action-packed show. It deserves a second viewing....

A breath of fresh air! The joy of Christmas in June is really possible. A refreshing introspective on how to take the metaphorical fruitcake of purposelessness and create the delicious life you really want, making your everyday rich like the holiday. ...

Very entertaining! I really felt like I was on the journey with Ayo to find love. I laughed out loud, I felt her emotions and rooted for her along the way. Her story is relatable and the message is powerful. ...
